Summary

Show

The Ethereum Foundation appointed longtime contributor and prominent security community member pcaversaccio to its board on a one-year voluntary term, expanding the leadership group responsible for the organization's long-term strategy and governance.

The appointment comes as the Ethereum Foundation undergoes a broader leadership overhaul, with several high-profile departures and new Ethereum-focused organizations spinning out as the foundation refocuses on long-term stewardship.

The Ethereum Foundation (EF)

has appointed longtime

ecosystem contributor pcaversaccio (known as "pc") to its board, expanding the group's leadership as it continues to refine the governance of the organization behind the world's second-largest blockchain.

pc, a security researcher and co-founder of the emergency response initiative SEAL 911, joins the board for an initial one-year voluntary term. He has also served on the EF's Silviculture Society, an advisory group that provides informal guidance on preserving the foundation's core principles, including censorship resistance, open source development, privacy and security.

The appointment brings the Ethereum Foundation's board to four members: President Aya Miyaguchi, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Swiss legal counsel Patrick Storchenegger and pcaversaccio.

The board is responsible for setting the EF's strategic vision and ensuring management's decisions remain aligned with the organization's values, accordinfg to the Foundation. It also serves as a "security council" tasked with safeguarding the foundation's mission and ensuring compliance with the laws of Switzerland, where it is currently based.

pc’s appointment comes during a period of significant change at the Ethereum Foundation. In recent months,

a number of high-profile researchers and executives

have departed the organization, with several

launching new Ethereum-focused ventures outside the foundation

, as the EF reshapes its role around long-term stewardship rather than acting as the center of ecosystem development.

“We’re pleased to welcome @pcaversaccio to the EF Board,” the foundation

wrote on X

. “We look forward to working together to help steward Ethereum’s long-term future.”
